Paul McCartney Live: KeyArena, Seattle

Sunday 17 April 2016 | Live, Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney performed at KeyArena in Seattle, Washington, USA, on 17 April 2016, as part of the opening stretch of his One On One Tour. The show was the third date of the tour, which would ultimately span 77 performances across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania between 2016 and 2017.

The Seattle concert carried additional historical weight, as McCartney had previously performed at the same venue when it was known as the Seattle Coliseum, first with The Beatles in 1964 and again in 1966, before returning as a solo artist in 2005.

The 2016 performance also featured a notable surprise during the encore, when former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic joined McCartney on stage for a rendition of ‘Helter Skelter’, creating a symbolic crossover between Seattle’s grunge legacy and McCartney’s Beatles catalogue.
